King is suffering from a hamstring injury and Arter has an Achilles problem after being brought off in the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham before the international break which meant he had to pull out of playing for the Republic of Ireland.

Long-term absentees Callum Wilson and Tyrone Mings (both knee) have both rejoined training but Mings has suffered a setback, having undergone minor surgery to remove staples from his knee. Cherries manager Eddie Howe does not now believe he will play again this season.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Francis, Cook, Daniels, Smith, Surman, Ritchie, Gradel, Gosling, Arter, Afobe, King, Federici, Iturbe, Elphick, Distin, Pugh, O’Kane, Grabban.
